Wow, I knew it would be announced soon but I will miss the air conditioning, apps and drinks. I think I will go one more time this year.

It seems the algae, or moss is on temporarily. It’s painted over and then removed to get the right look.

Wow, that is disappointing. It was nice while it lasted I guess.

Has that ever happened before where a ride had EP and then was removed?

I know we rode Hagrid’s more than we would have because we had the one-use EP’s. Maybe those increased the demand for it too much?

I’m vicarious planning. My best friend and her family is planning a trip. These are the people that we took a trip with them to Universal but they had to cut it short because her mom died.

Yep. It’s gone.

Maybe they will offer “Express Now” for Hagrid’s.

I think the reason they are doing it is because it adversely affects the standby line. I don’t have any statistical analysis to prove it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the standby line is like 30-50% higher than it would have been without it being included in EP.

Booo - now my DD will definitely not ride it with me. But that means I can focus more on EPIC!
